so what's "film" specific about your question?
1 " highlight it and right click to import XML, but the clips only go into the main bin"
i dont get import XML by right clicking on a bin.
you must be right clicking on the background of the browser.
either way, import XML doesn't give you the option of importing into a bin.
if the clips were in a bin to start with, and the XML was made of the BIN itself,
you;d get clips in a in.
as it is, put em in a bin yourself.
or make new project,
and copy and paste into the bin you want.
2 this is NTSC specific,
i work in PAL,
so i guess you'lll be frustrated for just a little bit longer
